APPLICATIONS

ADVANTAGES

Durascape™ is a strong and durable base sheet which has a subtle shiplap vertical joint that is suitable for finishing with a range of decorative coatings.

Durascape™ is suitable for low to medium rise buildings and can be used on both timber and steel framed buildings. It is also ideal for renovations and alterations to existing dwellings.

/ Gives a subtle 5mm vertical shadow line/ Is lightweight and durable/ Quick to install because it eliminates the need for taped and filled joints and vertical set joints/ Panels are not affected by termites, air, steam, salt or sunlight

ENERGY EFFICIENCY CONSIDERATIONS

Energy efficiency requirements have been introduced into the Building Code of Australia (BCA) for both commercial and residential buildings. Thermal heat transfer into and out of the building envelope will affect the running cost of the building and careful consideration of thermal heat transfer needs to be addressed by the architects, engineers and building designers. Thermal bridging through steel framing will diminish the total R-Value; thermal conductance of the wall. Thermal breaks are required for steel framed buildings and should be installed between the steel frame and the Durascape™ panels. Thermal break tapes should have a minimum R-Value of 0.2.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Durascape™ panels are manufactured from Portland cement, finely ground silica, cellulose fibres and water. Panels are cured in a high-pressure steam autoclave to create a durable, dimensionally stable product.

Durascape™ panels are manufactured to the Australian / New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2908.2-2000 Cellulose-Cement Products, Part 2: Flat sheets and Durascape™ is classified as Type A-Category 2.

FIRE RESISTANCE

FINISHING

BGC Fibre Cement products have been tested in accordance to Australian Standard AS1530.3.

These tests deemed the following Early Fire Hazard Indices:

/ Ignition Index 0/ Spread of Flame Index 0/ Heat Evolved Index 0/ Smoke Developed Index 0-1

Paint & Coatings Manufacturers such as Dulux, Wattyl, Taubmans, Macs Architectural Coatings and Acryloc manufacture decorative coatings that are recommended for Fibre Cement substrates. Please refer to the manufacturer for details. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions prior to applying coatings.

DURABILITY

Durascape™ physical properties make it a very durable product.

/ Durascape™ panels are immune to permanent water damage in both short and long-term exposure./ Durascape™ panels will not rot or burn and are unaffected by termites, air, steam, salt and sunlight./ Durascape™ panels are not adversely affected over a temperature range of 0°C to 95°C.

Vapour permeable sarking must be installed in accordance with the AS/NZS 4200.2 – ‘Pliable building membranes and underlays – Installation’ and the sarking manufacturer’s guidelines. The sarking should have the following properties:

/ Vapour barrier – low or medium/ Water barrier – high

Vapour permeable sarking is used to prevent moisture ingress by acting as a drainage plane whilst enabling water vapour build up from inside the frame to escape.

COASTAL AREAS

The durability of galvanised nails and screws used for exterior cladding in coastal or similar corrosive environments can be as low as 10 years.

For this reason BGC recommend the use of stainless steel fasteners within 1km of the coast or other large expanses of salt water.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

AVOID DUST INHALATION

Durascape™ is manufactured from cellulose fibre, finely ground sand, Portland cement and additives. As manufactured, the product will not release airborne dust, but during drilling, cutting and sanding operations cellulose fibres, silica and alcium silicate dust may be released.

Breathing in fine silica dust is hazardous and prolonged exposure (usually over several years) may cause bronchitis, silicosis or cancer.

When cutting sheets, work in a well-ventilated area and use the methods recommended in this literature to minimise dust generation. If using power tools wear an approved (P1 or P2) dust mask and safety glasses.

These precautions are not necessary when stacking, unloading or handling fibre cement products.

For further information or a Material Safety Data Sheet contact the nearest BGC Sales Office or go towww.bgcinnovadesign.com.au

CUTTING AND DRILLING

The most suitable cutting methods are:

/ DURABLADE 180mm Diameter. This unique cutting blade is ideal for cutting Fibre Cement. Can be fitted to a 185mm circular saw, ie Makita or similar. Please ensure safe working practices when using.

/ NOTCHING Notches can be made by cutting the two sides of the notch. Score along the back edge then snap upwards to remove the notch.

/ DRILLING Use normal high-speed masonry drill bits. Do not use the drill’s hammer function. For small round holes, the use of a hole-saw is recommended. For small rectangular or circular penetrations, drill a series of small holes around the perimeter of the cut out. Tap out the waste piece from the sheet face while supporting the underside of the opening to avoid damage. Clean rough edges with a rasp.

Large rectangular openings are formed by deeply scoring the perimeter of the opening. Next, form a hole in the centre of the opening (refer method above) then saw cut from the hole to the corners of the opening. Snap out the four triangular segments. Clean rough edges with a rasp. (see method above) then saw cut from the hole to the corners of the opening. Snap out the four triangular segments. Clean rough edges with a rasp

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Durascape™ must be stacked flat, up off the ground and supported on equally spaced (max 400mm) level gluts.

Care should be taken to avoid damage to the ends, edges and surfaces.

Sheets must be kept dry. When stored outdoors it must be protected from the weather. Sheets must be dry prior to fixing, jointing or finishing.

EXTRA CARE MUST BE TAKEN AT THE SHEET EDGES TO PREVENT CRACKING OF THE SHIPLAP JOIN.

MAXIMUM STUD & FASTENER SPACING

Durascape™ panels can be installed vertically to both timber and lightweight steel frames.

Ensure that the frame is square and work from a central datum line. The frame must be straight and true to provide a flush face to receive the panels.

BGC recommend a maximum tolerance of 3mm-4mm in any 3000mm length of frame.

Durascape™ will not straighten excessively warped or distorted frames and any warping may still be visible after Durascape™ is applied. Warped framing will require remedial action.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

FRAMING TIMBER FRAMES

LIGHTWEIGHT STEEL FRAMES

Use of a timber frame must be in accordance with AS1684 – Residential timber-framed construction and the framing manufacturers’ specifications.

DurascapeTM

Vapour Permeable Sarking*EPDM Foam Gasket

THERMAL BREAKS

Thermal breaks are required for steel framed buildings, in walls enclosing habitable and or usable spaces. Careful consideration of thermal heat transfer and the position of thermal breaks need to be addressed by the architects, engineers and building designers.

Balustrades, parapets, and other non-enclosing wall elements may not require thermal bridging, except where the possibility of high thermal heat transfer exists through the steel CFS sections to the main structural steel element of the building.

As part of the Durascape™ range EPDM Foam Gasket is required to prevent moisture ingress at sheet joins. EPDM Foam Gasket can also be used as a Thermal Break Tape and provides an R value of R 0.2 in accordance with the Building Code of Australia.

The EPDM Foam Gasket should be placed on all frame contact faces and at noggins and bottom plates. Refer Figure 25

Thermal breaks are first installed to all vertical frame members (Studs) then applied horizontally to top and bottom tracks as well as any horizontal noggins.

NOTE: Thermal breaks (BGC EPDM Foam Gasket) is a self adhesive foam gasket/tape. It is installed over the building wrap (sarking), refer figure 25.

Leave a small gap between the vertical gasket to allow any moisture to escape.

BUSHFIRE AND BOUNDARY WALL AREAS

Durascape™ is eminently suited for both bushfire and boundary wall applications in residential and multi residential buildings.

Durascape™ can be used as a stand alone product to achieve up to BAL 40 when fixed direct to frame as per the fixing instructions in this manual.

Durascape™ when used in conjunction with BGC 16mm Wet Area Fireboard will comply with the requirements of AS3959:2009 and AS1530.4 to achieve BAL FZ>10 as well as 60 minute and 90 minute boundary wall systems.

Durascape™ in conjunction with BGC 16mm Wet Area Fire-board can achieve both 60/60/60 and 90/90/90 FRL fire ratings from the outside as required by the BCA.

Where an exterior wall is required to achieve 60/60/60 FRL (Fire Resistance Level) from the outside, 1 layer of 16mm BGC Wet Area Fireboard installed with Durascape™ over the Wet Area Fireboard will meet minimum BCA requirements.Similarly 2 layers of 16mm BGC Wet Area Fireboard used in conjunction with Durascape™ will achieve 90/90/90 from the outside.

NOTE: All external walls must have sarking beneath the Durascape™. No adhesives are to be used when installing Wet Area Fireboard and the Durascape™. Nails or screws must be used. For more information please contact your nearest BGC Fibre Cement office.

BOUNDARY/EXTERIOR WALLS

AS3959:2009 sets out a series of Bushfire threat levels to buildings described as BAL (Bushfire Attack Levels) as follows: BAL-Low, BAL-12.5, BAL-19, BAL-29, BAL-40 or BAL-FZ (Flamezone).

Durascape™ may be used to achieve a BAL-40 or BAL-FZ>10 when used in conjunction with 16mm Wet Area Fireboard.
